Ultrabalm

Product Actions

Variations

Our moisturizing, all-purpose balm is made with plant waxes and nothing else. No petroleum jelly, no mineral oils - just natural goodness. Ultrabalm is versatile because we keep it simple, with only three naturally effective ingredients. We also believe in using the best quality organic, fair trade and vegan (whenever possible) ingredients in our products. Our mix of candelilla wax and organic jojoba oil is a vegan alternative to beeswax; it creates a protective barrier on the skin and locks in moisture, while rose wax soothes irritations. Apply to scrapes to relieve discomfort, to tame flyaway hair, or even as a lip balm.

Vegan

This product does not contain animal products of any kind.

Melt

This product may melt if shipped to a warm location.

How to use

Smooth all over your body, taking extra care over your dry bits, like elbows, knees, and heels. With LUSH products a little goes a long way, so start with a little and use more if desired.

Features

Simple, effective skin care: Simplicity at its best, for those who love no nonsense skin care.

Ultrawhere and everywhere: Ultrabalm is our multi-purpose wonder and can be used anywhere – dry heels, chapped lips, and even on fly away hair.

We'd recommend consulting with your physician to make sure the product is right for you, but in general, there are no concerns with using the product on the nipples.

Hi,The first two ingredients in Ultrabalm (jojoba oil & candelilla wax) areeither considered safe for breastfeeding moms or are already used invarious brands of nipple cream for breastfeeding moms (or both). The wildcard is the rose wax - some say to avoid its use as part of a nipple cream,while there are also nipple cream brands out there that include it. Notsure how much is actually in a container of Ultrabalm, but it is the lastlisted (and therefore smallest quantity) ingredient. If you really want touse it, you could always wipe it off before feedings. Otherwise, plaincoconut oil is a great nipple cream that you don't have to wipe off beforefeedings (get food grade). I do know that Ultrabalm makes a great bum creamfor baby!Hope this helps!Elizabeth

You could do that, but it might be a bit too thick for your skin. I suggest using something like Cosmetic Lad, which is a thicker facial moisturizer that can be used to moisturize that over worked skin. Or a great shaving cream like Ambrosia, which is great for sensitive skin and perfect for avoiding razor burns!

Ultrabalm is an all-purpose balm so you can definitely use it to remove makeup if you choose. We would recommend just applying a small bit to the area you wish to remove the makeup from, and wiping it away with a cloth. Ultrabland, alternately, is even more effective at this!

Q:

Hi, I just purchased a Lush ultrabalm today and I was just wondering if the consistency of the utrabalm had little bits in it? Is that normal or is it meant to be smooth?

It sounds like the Ultrabalm you purchased came from a batch that may have been heated at too high of a temperature as it was being made, as this can sometimes happen with the rose and candelilla waxes. It is similar to melting chocolate, as if you try to melt it at too high of a heat it will cause a little bit of grittiness in the texture. It is absolutely safe to use, but feel free to visit your local shop and we're sure they would be happy to swap it with one from a different batch for you!

Hi!I wondered that myself, thought the heat during shipping had changed the consistency, but it sounds like that is not the case. I used it anyway, and I can tell you it works great on everything; chapped lips, itchy, dry skin, my husband used it on his psoriasis, it is great stuff. Hope that helps!

I certainly have, and it's an all time favourite for just that purpose! With only three ingredients: Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) , Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia cerifera) , and Rose Wax (Rosa damascena), it is incredibly hydrating to fresh or healing tattoos, as well as helping to protect old ink. It is also fragrance free, and definitely helps to protect the tattoo's pigments, stop itch, prevent flaking skin, and keep it bump free.

Q:

Hi, I know UltraBalm is supposed to be an all-purpose balm but I wanted to double check and see if its ok to use it on my legs as a lotion when they get dry or after I have to shave them?

Ultrabalm is absolutely okay to use on the legs! It is only made up of three ingredients, and because it is such a simple formula it is beneficial for all parts of the body.

Q:

I tried this product in one of your stores yesterday because I was told it could make the colors in tattoos more vibrant. But today I have seemed to develop a rash on the arm I tried the product on. It has spread throughout the day which leads me to believe I must be allergic to one of the ingredients.. In the description it says there are 3 ingredients but I only see candelilla wax and jojoba oil mentioned.. what is the third ingredient?

While Ultrabalm will bring hydration which is important for skin's health, you may want to try a product with neroli oil in it, as this essential oil is helpful in improving skin's natural regenerative qualities. Give the Therapy massage bar a try- it's got some great neroli oil in there as well as soothing lavender and emollient butters.

Q:

I've heard this can be used as diaper rash cream, but is it safe to use in cloth diapers? (Only certain creams are!)

Our products are not tested on children, so we cannot guarantee that they are appropriate for use on infants. However, Ultrabalm has a very simple ingredient list, consisting only of Organic Jojoba Oil, Candelilla Wax, and Rose Wax, so you may want to check with your paediatrician as well as the manufacturer of the diapers you use to see if they're able to approve of the use of these ingredients!

Q:

Can this be used as a regular hand moisturizer or is it only for dry spots?

I use this mixed with other hand lotion... it seems to make other lotion more effective, while most other lotions make the Ultrabalm easier to absorb. I've also used it mixed with raw honey when the skin on my hands got so dry it cracked, and it worked like a miracle; after two days, my hands were soft again.

Answered on 2/18/2015 by Rin from PA

A:

It's quite thick and is much more of a balm or waxy texture rather than liquid or creamy. It may be a little heavy as a hand cream, however you'd be welcome to try it this way if you like a thicker balm for hands!

A:

Works great either way. Use more on drier areas. A little bit goes a long way though.

definitely, its a bit greasy after you apply it but absorbs well. I would put it on at home and let it soak in. Don't apply right before driving or using your kindle.

i think this would be too greasy to use as a hand moisturizer. it does work wonders on dry spots though!

I use a little on my hands all the time. It's concentrated so you only need a small amount. It's great for your nails and cuticles too.

Q:

Would Ultrabalm be considered a liquid for airline travel and need to be placed in the ziplock bag?

The TSA's own website is a bit vague about this, but to be on the safe side, yes put the balm in a ziplock bag, or if you can do with out it for the flight, it might just be best to put it in your checked luggage.

Answered on 2/23/2012 by Community Answer from None

A:

It is a balm which I believe is considered a solid, however you may want to verify with the TSA or your particular airline to be completely sure it is acceptable in carry on luggage prior to travel.
